I (Lorilyn Roberts) would like to introduce a very talented Christian author, Cheryl Rogers; she is not only an author but also an artist and musician.
My friend Cheryl likes to write for children because they are usually very open to God. “Children have a special place in my heart. They have so many years ahead of them … so many years to enjoy getting things right,” she says.
Her latest children’s ebook, I Can See Christian Storybook Treasury, is a unique book that helps defeat doubts about God that develop as a child grows. It begins with I Can See God’s ABCs, a story that should be read to the child as they are learning about the world. From there, the short stories become increasingly complex, dealing with questions like how we can find a God we cannot see, why Jesus came to Earth, and why Jesus had to die.
I Can See Christian Storybook Treasury is meant to be used through the years with each child and grandchild in the family,” Cheryl says. “It can be used with younger and older children at the same time.”
Another one of her books is Making Choices: Life is Like Acorns, a Bible study designed for children aged 5 to 10 years old. The story is about a baby squirrel named Peepsy who is learning how to hunt for acorns. His mother teaches him that not all acorns are good to eat — things are not always what they seem.
Just Like Jonah Wail Tales, a storybook aimed at preteens and teens, teaches that there is a price to pay when you disobey. The modern-day Jonahs make bad choices and land in a whale of trouble, just like the prophet Jonah in the Bible. But when they return to God, He is faithful to change their circumstances.
Her devotional book, Fast Track to Victory: A Christian Guidebook, for new and young believers contains 40 short lessons that enable us to live a victorious Christian life, helping us truly love and forgive others, set aside pride, deal with tragedy, death, and more.
Cheryl knew she wanted to be a writer from a young age. She earned a journalism degree in college and honed her skills as a newspaper reporter, but it was a devastating illness that led Cheryl to realize what she was meant to write about. In 1993, she succumbed to a severe immune disorder, Environmental Illness, for which there is no physical cure. After undergoing extensive treatment to no avail, she surrendered her life to Christ, and he miraculously healed her.
“My life was in shambles, but God gave me my life back. I learned he was real and well able to handle my problems,” Cheryl says.
A Miami native who lives in Tampa, Florida, with her family, Cheryl currently publishes New Christian Books, a magazine featuring announcements about new kingdom-building books as well as book excerpts, a Bible-based living column, author marketing tips, and other features. She has authored numerous Christian titles, as well as a couple of e-books about self-publishing.
In addition to her Christian books, Cheryl designs Christian posters, mugs, cards, tees, and other products featuring her nature photographs and Scripture verses from the King James Authorized Version. She has also self-produced three Scripture song CDs
“It never was my idea to write Scripture songs,” says Cheryl, “but when the first song was sung into my spirit on the second anniversary of my father’s death, well, it got my attention. My father wanted my sister and me to write a song as children, but I couldn’t come up with a melody. All I could do was the lyrics. And here I was getting a complete melody. I couldn’t ignore it.”
She discovered a music studio two blocks from her house and was able to complete the CDs with expert help and the knowledge she gained through childhood piano lessons and college voice classes.
“I realized I had better use the talent I had been developing for His purposes,” she says, “and so I began sharing the lessons he taught me through Bible columns. These become the basis of my devotions book, Fast Track to Victory, A Christian Guidebook.”
